Sadaf Masih Successfully Underwent a C-Section

Sadaf Masih's Story

Sadaf Masih, a 20-year-old woman from Karachi, was eagerly awaiting the arrival of her second child. What should have been a time of happiness and anticipation was instead overshadowed by anxiety and concern. During her first pregnancy, she had undergone a C-section, making her current pregnancy more complicated. Aware of the risks, Sadaf consulted a gynecologist for medical advice. After a thorough examination and necessary tests, the doctor strongly recommended an elective C-section to ensure a safe delivery. Without the procedure, Sadaf’s health and her unborn child’s life were at serious risk. However, the financial burden of the surgery was beyond her family’s means.

Sadaf lived in a small one-room rented house with her husband and their first child. Her husband, the only earning member of the household, worked as a daily wage laborer and brought home just PKR 32,000 per month. With this limited income, he struggled to cover their rent, groceries, and other essential expenses. Affording the cost of a C-section seemed impossible, leaving Sadaf and her family distressed and uncertain about the future. In search of help, they turned to Transparent Hands and asked us to register her case.

On January 27, 2025, Sadaf was admitted to Murshid Hospital in Karachi, where Dr. Farkhanda successfully performed the C-section. The surgery went smoothly, and Sadaf gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Sadaf received post-operative care and was discharged in satisfactory condition on January 29, 2025.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Sadaf expressed her emotions as follows:

“I cannot express how relieved and grateful I am. We had no way to afford this surgery, and I was worried for my baby’s safety. Because of your kindness, I am holding my healthy child in my arms today. Thank you for giving me and my baby a new chance at life.”

With her newborn safely delivered, Sadaf can now focus on caring for her growing family. Her husband and loved ones are incredibly thankful to you for making this life-saving procedure possible. Your support has filled Sadaf’s home with happiness.
